Enzymatic synthesis of alkylglycoside fatty acid esters catalyzed by an immobilized lipase

摘要

An enzymatic process for lactose valorization has been established. Lactose was reacted in a first step with butanol in the presence of beta-glucosidase and beta-galactosidase to produce butylglycosides. Then, these alkylsugars were acylated in a second step by an immobilized lipase to synthesize alkylsugar fatty acid eater. The conversion rate was about 65%. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
